Stop misuse of national emblems, symbols: Karnataka High Court

BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court stated that higher-ups in the state and central governments should chalk out programmes to sensitise officials and implementing authorities to ensure there is no misuse of national emblems and national symbols in various forms. It directed to issue notices through print and visual media to remove all kinds of unauthorised flags, emblems, names, symbols, and logos which are prohibited, and discontinue unauthorised use within four weeks. It stated that schoolchildren or law students should also be involved in spreading awareness against the unauthorised display. The authorities should frame regulations for imposition of fines and cancellation of driving licences for violating the law, it said. It is unfortunate that there is a tendency amongst authorities who are no more in office, former members of parliament or ex-legislators to misuse emblems, flags, names etc, by fixing them in their letterheads and on numberplates of vehicles. The misuse of symbols, seals, flags, emblems and names have to be countered for their illegal and unauthorised display..., the court observed. A division bench of Chief Justice NV Anjaria and Justice MI Arun passed the order recently, while disposing of a public interest litigation filed by the High Court Legal Services Committee against the misuse of emblems and flags by various persons and organisations. The court directed the authorities to deal with violations sternly, and register cases under the relevant Acts and Rules, with regard to the misuse of national symbols and emblems.

Congress leaders must speak responsibly: Karnataka BJP President

BENGALURU: BJP state president BY Vijayendra on Thursday took a dig at Congress leaders for their reported remarks on the Pahalgam terror incident, as he asked CM Siddaramaiah and RDPR Minister Priyank Kharge to speak responsibly as befits their positions. You talk about the failures of the central intelligence agencies. Siddaramaiah, you need to ask Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi as the Congress has ruled this country for 60 years since Independence, he told reporters, after paying homage to Bharat Bhushan, who was killed in the Pahalgam attack. Why was the Congress unable to eradicate terrorism from this country? Vijeyendra questioned. Instead of discussing this, every Indian needs to stand together and unite in such a difficult time, so that we send a clear message to the world, he suggested. Vijayendra said terrorism is not limited to India alone, but is a global problem.

They were killed in front of their family members. This is a heinous crime. Such incidents should not recur, and we must ensure that our country is free of terrorism.

Biotech shaping future economy, public health: Union Minister Jitendra Singh

BENGALURU: Union Minister of State for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences Jitendra Singh on Thursday emphasised the role of biotechnology in shaping Indias future economy and public health. Dr Singh, who inspected the Biotechnology Research and Innovation Council -- Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (BRIC-inStem), a research institute under the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, described the sectors contribution as pivotal for nation-building. This is not just about science, its about nation-building, he said and lauded the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) for its achievements and transformation from a relatively obscure sector to a national powerhouse. The minister inspected the facilities and reviewed clinical trials, including the first-in-human gene therapy trial for haemophilia, conducted in collaboration with CMC, Vellore, at the institute. Stating that Indias biotechnology industry is witnessing a remarkable growth, Dr Singh said it has expanded 16-fold over the past decade to reach $165.7 billion in 2024, with a target of $300 billion by 2030. Dr Singh attributed this progress to policy reforms such as the BIO-E3 Policy, designed to boost the economy, create jobs, and improve environmental sustainability. The country now boasts of having over 10,000 biotech startups, an increase from just 50 a decade ago, he added. He visited BRIC-inStems Biosafety Level III Laboratory, which serves as a critical facility for studying high-risk pathogens under Indias One Health Mission. The Union minister also visited the new Centre for Research Application and Training in Embryology (CReATE), which focuses on addressing birth defects and infertility through research. He highlighted its vital role in improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes, noting that approximately 3 to 4% of babies are born with some defects. Dr Singh stressed the need for increased collaboration between scientific and medical institutions and suggested that BRIC-inStem should explore MD-Ph.D programmes, strengthen ties with clinical research, and enhance its visibility through coordinated communication. Whats being done here should echo across the country. Its not just for publicity, the nation needs it, he said.

Pahalgam terror attack: I have a 3-year-old child, pleaded Bhushan

BENGALURU: My husband begged the terrorists to spare him, not for himself, but for our three-year-old son. But his requests fell on deaf ears. They asked us how can we celebrate when they are suffering and shot him, Bharat Bhushans wife, Dr Sujatha told TNIE. The family had gone on a trip to Kashmir from Bengaluru on April 18. Recalling the day of the attack, she said, We went to Pahalgam early on Tuesday morning. From there, we reached a large meadow called Baisaran, surrounded by pine trees. It looked like a mini Switzerland. There were several tents where tourists could dress in traditional Kashmiri attire and take photos. Around 1.30 pm, we decided to return as it was getting late and we were hungry. However, the peaceful atmosphere quickly turned chaotic, she said. We suddenly heard gunshots. At first, we thought it was the sound of firecrackers or something to scare away wild animals. But as the sound of gunfire intensified, we realised it was an attack. We ran toward a tent to hide, she said. Narrating the terrifying moments before her husbands death, Sujatha said, Just about 500 metres away from us, there was another couple. A man was shot dead there. Moments later, the terrorist was behind my husband. Bharat kept telling me, Dont worry. Stay calm. He was trying to protect us. He said, I have a child, please dont shoot, and even showed our son. But the terrorist shot him in the head twice. My husband fell to the ground in front of us, she said, breaking into tears. She added that she heard the terrorist saying, How can you celebrate when we are suffering? You came here to enjoy. The terrorist didnt ask where we were from or what religion we belonged to. He just shot my husband, Sujatha said. After he fell, I took the documents and mobile phone from his pocket and ran. Shooting was still going on around us. I saw other bodies lying on the ground. She also noted that she saw three terrorists, who had spread out across the area and one of them approached their direction. There was heavy security in Pahalgam town, but no security presence in Baisaran, which is on a hilltop.

Pahalgam terror attack: Felt like scenes from a movie, say lucky tourists from Karnataka who hit home base

BENGALURU: Following the Pahalgam terror attack, a total of 177 tourists from Karnataka were flown back from Jammu and Kashmir to Bengaluru on a special flight arranged by the state government, around Thursday noon. Describing the aftermath, many tourists said they had travelled in groups and could not book tickets, which had soared to nearly Rs 80,000 after the terror attack. They thanked the government for stepping in, saying fear on the ground had made travel difficult. Several said that minister Santosh Lad, who brought back the tourists, had personally visited Srinagar and also Gulmarg, where many tourists were stuck, assured them of safety, and helped coordinate their return. Never again to dream destination Kashmir was my dream destination ever since my older sister went there almost 30 years ago for her honeymoon, but after what we experienced, we will never ever visit the valley, said Monica Satya, a Bengalurean who finally made a trip to Kashmir, with eight friends and family members. Just days into the vacation, when Monica and her family were in Gulmarg, news of the terrorist attack nearby left them shaken. We were terrified. The internet was barely working, so we couldnt even check the flights or call anybody to check for us, she said. Unsure of what to do, Monica called a friend in Bengaluru, who informed her that she had seen the news that minister Santosh Lad was expected to visit. I arranged for the ministers number and called him. From Srinagar, the minister came to our hotel in Gulmarg, and assured us we would be taken back safely with the other tourists, she told TNIE. Tour bus delay saved them Misha (13) had travelled to Kashmir with her parents and younger sister during their school vacation. Were trying to cover all the North Indian hill stations last year, it was Shimla and Manali, and this time we chose Kashmir, she said. The family was scheduled to leave for Pahalgam from Gulmarg by bus, on the day of the terrorist attack. We were supposed to leave on Tuesday morning, but the tour agency said buses werent ready and wed leave only by evening, Misha recalled, adding that the delay saved them. It was not until later that day, when their internet connection returned, that they found out what had happened. We had multiple missed calls from relatives. Thats how we found out about the attack, she said. Misha said the family had originally planned to head back on April 26, however, after the attack, they immediately contacted the helpline set up for tourists and made arrangements to return early. Were 5 km from terror scene, felt like a movie Kush and Kriti, cousins from Bengaluru, had travelled to Kashmir with 20 family members, hoping to show their grandparents the beauty of the valley. But just as they were returning from Betaab Valley in Pahalgam, they learnt about the terror attack nearby. We were only 5 km from the spot, but had no idea what had happened until we reached our resort, Kush said. Soon after, the area was placed under heavy restrictions. There was a complete lockdown. We couldnt take our grandparents out anywhere curfew was imposed, helicopters were hovering above, and there were military checks. We couldnt believe it was the same place, it felt like a scene out of a movie, said Kush. Soudha security officer among tourists Among the tourists was Ravikumar, a police officer attached to Vidhana Soudha security, who had spent a good amount of money planning a holiday with his wife and child. However, his trip took an unexpected turn when he landed in Kashmir on the day of the terror attack. What was meant to be a relaxing family vacation was abruptly aborted as upon arrival, he was told it was unsafe to stay and was asked to return. Locals came to rescue Many tourists recalled that despite the language barrier, local residents extended immense help during the crisis. While most of the tourists were in Gulmarg and other parts of Kashmir far from Srinagar where their flights were scheduled they were still able to make their way back, with the support of local tour guides and drivers. They mentioned that even with a statewide curfew in place, locals helped them reach bus stands and arranged transport to Srinagar. Chetan R, Commissioner, Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports, told TNIE that the government is still in touch with the Anantnag district DIG to know how many tourists from the state are still in J&K. He also mentioned that the people there have their flights booked either to Amritsar or Delhi.

Now, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike polls likely to get delayed further

BENGALURU: With Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot giving his nod to the Greater Bengaluru Governance Bill, which allows splitting the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) into smaller corporations, Palike elections are likely to be delayed again. The state capital has been without a council body for the last 4.5 years, and now the wait will be much longer. Since September 2020, the BBMP, without a council, has been administered by officials under a chief commissioner and an administrator who are senior IAS officers. With no councillors, people are left with no option but to approach the ward offices or their MLAs to address their civic issues. Ever since the council term ended in 2020, the matter of holding the BBMP polls has been in various courts, including the Supreme Court, which directed the state government to hold the elections. While the previous BJP government took time to increase the number of wards from the existing 198 wards to 243 through delimitation, the present government made it to 225 wards, delaying the elections. Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike polls to be delayed again, say ex-corporators The Congress government also initiated the Greater Bengaluru Governance Bill, which was finally passed in both houses of the state legislature this year and was sent to the governor. Gehlot had rejected it in March this year and has now given his consent. According to Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy, the BBMP polls will be delayed. Reddy said the state government has plenty of formalities to finish before the process of the polls can be started. We need to start the delimitation process and decide on how many wards in each corporation. We also need to check if we can add some more pockets from the city outskirts and decide on the population in each ward. Once all these formalities are done, we need to fix reservations for each ward -- scheduled caste, scheduled tribe and women, he said. Meanwhile, several citizens forums are planning to approach the courts questioning the Greater Bengaluru Authority. There are already many cases related to BBMP polls in courts. If another case is filed, the chances of conducting the polls will be delayed further, said a BBMP official.

Treatment for lifestyle diseases soon in PHCs across Karnataka

BENGALURU: With the cases of lifestyle diseases increasing, the health department is planning to offer healthcare to such patients at its Primary Health Centres (PHCs) across the state at an affordable cost. The number of people with diabetes, back pain, early age arthritis, pulmonary diseases, asthma and other lifestyle diseases, also called as non-communicable diseases, is increasing. The Gruha Arogya programme initiated by the state government also revealed that people from all age groups suffer from such diseases. Along with basic medical facilities, tests and treatments for lifestyle diseases will be given, Harsh Gupta, principal secretary, Health and Family Welfare Department, said. PHCs will also be equipped with medical equipment to test people with lifestyle diseases. Like in private health centres, patients health cards will also be maintained at PHCs, which can be referred anywhere in the state. We are planning to offer dental care in PHCs, said a government doctor. A senior health official said many people do not visit government hospitals because they lack facilities. Efforts are not being made to improve them. Now, most people, including students, suffer from blood pressure and diabetes. They can have health cards from PHCs free of cost. There are many MBBS graduates and young doctors seeking jobs. We will appoint them in PHCs on a contract basis, the official added. He said PHCs are being linked with government hospitals for referring cancer patients for immediate treatment, just like private clinics partnering with hospitals providing specialised healthcare. Gupta admitted to the staff shortage in government hospitals and PHCs. He said 30% of posts are vacant in critical care sections (around 40,000). They faced a shortage of 9,000 nurses, auxiliary nurses, midwives and technicians.

Karnataka approves projects worth Rs 3,647 crore in MM Hills cabinet meet

MM Hills (CHAMARAJANAGAR DISTRICT): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah chaired a cabinet meeting at Male Mahadeshwara Hills (MM Hills) in Chamarajanagar district on Thursday. The cabinet approved projects worth Rs 3,647.62 crore focusing on sectors like irrigation, health, infrastructure, and tourism. As many as 78 issues were discussed and decisions taken, with a focus mainly on the Old Mysuru region. The cabinet also decided to strive to remove the backward district tag attached to Chamarajanagar. Siddaramaiahs home district of Mysuru, too, got a slew of projects, including land acquisition for the expansion of the runway at Mysuru airport, white-topping of roads, and an international cricket stadium in Yelawala on the outskirts of the city. Further, the government will grant Rs 70 crore to construct a polytechnic building. Briefing the media after the cabinet meeting, Siddaramaiah disputed the claim made by the opposition that there were no funds for development. The opposition should know that the government is focusing on implementing development works both in urban and rural areas, including tribal-dominated regions, the CM said. The cabinet also set aside Rs 1,787 crore towards major and minor irrigation works, including 110 tank-filling projects at a cost of Rs 475 crore in Gundlupet, Saligrama, Kadur, and other villages in the Mysuru revenue division. Siddaramaiah, however, clarified that the cabinet did not discuss the implementation of the Kabini Stage II project. Siddaramaiah announced the setting up of Manteswamy, Rachappa, and Siddappaji development authorities and Rs 40 cr for the development of the khadi village in Badanavalu that was visited by Mahatma Gandhi. We wanted to fulfil the promise made during the Bharat Jodo Yatra headed by Rahul Gandhi, the CM said. Siddaramaiah also said that steps will be taken to develop the tomb of Vijayanagara emperor Krishnadevaraya at Anegundi in Koppal district. The cabinet also decided to set up an art and culture museum at the Old Deputy Commissioners office in Mysuru at a cost of Rs 30 crore and set aside Rs 300 crore for other tourism projects. The cabinet also discussed increasing human-animal conflict in the region and set aside Rs 210 crore to address the issue. An endocrinology department at a cost of Rs 50 crore will be set up in Chamarajnagar Institute of Medical Sciences, and Rs 228 crore has been set aside for the construction of a 250-bed district hospital in Kollegal and a 50-bed hospital in Hanur in Chamarajanagar district.Further, Rs 15 crore has been earmarked to develop the Chamarajanagar stadium. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said that they have approved construction of check dams, canals, and remodeling of irrigation canals in Chamarajnagar, Srirangapatna, KR Nagar, Kushalnagar, and Periyapatna. Siddaramaiah said that the State Government will discuss giving permanent government jobs to the kin of the 24 people who died in Chamarajanagar district hospital owing to lack of oxygen in 2021. On the petition by Pramoda Devi Wadiyar claiming ownership of 4,500 acres of land in Chamarajanagar that is tilled by hundreds of small and marginal families, Siddaramaiah said that the tiller is the owner of the land and assured that they will not be displaced.

Auto driver fined Rs 1.4 crore for fatal accident by minor

KOPPAL: A Koppal court has imposed a whopping fine of Rs 1.41 crore on an auto owner, in a case which caused the death of a person when the autorickshaw was being driven by the autodrivers minor son. The incident took place in Gangavathi on March 10, 2021. Judge Ramesh S Ganiger conducted the hearing at Gangavathi Senior Civil Court in Koppal district on Tuesday. After hearing the case, the judge ordered that the amount be paid to the family of the deceased. A complaint was filed with the Taluk Legal Services Committee by the family of the victim, two-wheeler rider Rajashekar Ayyanagouda, a resident of Jayanagar in Gangavathi. He was seriously injured after he was knocked down by the auto driven by the minor, and later died in hospital. Chennamma, the wife of the deceased, and others approached court, seeking compensation. After hearing the complaint filed with the Taluk Legal Services Authority in 2021, Additional Civil Court Judge Ramesh S Ganiger ordered the autodriver to pay compensation of Rs 1,41,61,580 to the victims family. Rajashekar Ayyanagouda was working as an assistant professor at the Government First Grade College in Yelburga. While returning home after duty, Rajashekar parked his bike near a shop in the town and was talking on his mobile phone when the minor, Mahantesh Kudarikotagi, rammed the auto into Rajashekar, seriously injuring him. He was admitted to hospital, where he died. Rajshekhars friend said, We are happy with the verdict and thank all those who supported us. However, our friend will not come back. He was the sole breadwinner. We hope the courts decision sends a strong signal to all parents who give their vehicles to minors. Auto driver Matangappa, the father of the minor, said, We dont know how we will arrange such a huge amount. I will consult some lawyers. As of now, lawyers are saying that insurance companies will not entertain the case as theaccused is a minor. We cannot think of lakhs and now have been asked to pay Rs 1.41 crore.
